Do not read this article if you do not want to get angry. The “healthcare industry” in the United States has become one gigantic money making scam, and tens of millions of American families now live in great fear of illness and disease. Why are they so afraid? It is because a single trip to the hospital can ruin you financially. Even if you are covered by health insurance, medical debt can still wreck your finances. In fact, most of the people that go bankrupt due to medical bills actually have health insurance. Meanwhile, on the other side there are lots of people that are becoming fabulously wealthy from this system. Our “healthcare industry” has turned large numbers of doctors, lawyers, health insurance company executives and pharmaceutical company executives into multi-millionaires. Of course the largest shareholders in our gigantic healthcare corporations are raking in the most cash of all. The healthcare industry in the United States has become a cesspool of corruption and greed, and this has been the case for so long that we don’t even remember what a legitimate system even looks like anymore.
Many Americans truly believed that health insurance would protect them if something went terribly wrong with their health.

Cleveland clinic did similar to the long time doctors who worked at the local hospitals with privileges. Kept them on just long enough to retain patients and then pull the rug out from all of them. They suck, I hate them and they almost killed my mother two years ago
They care that you get at any large hospital anymore is scary… You had better have a patient advocate before any procedure is done. I learned a big lesson about that when my mom was almost dead.
What I’m not hearing a lot of is people not understanding THIS IS OBAMACARE
Thank you for the heads up!
Before I retired, I received some mail from CMS and threw it away because I didn't recognize it—
That is totally something I would do too. Yikes!
I didn't know that was an option!! That's awesome! Yeah, my childhood experience with dentists is blurry with trauma.
They can only recommend treatments that pad the bottom line or they get fired.
They should unionize.
By design.
It was meant to suck bad enough people would beg the government for single-payer.
hospitals and physicians except insurance as payment in full
hospitals use a chargemaster to determine billing, doctors use prevailing rates for thier services, balance billing is and has been illegal, and hospitals, physicians, ambulances etc can and wii be suied, after 30 years in the health ins payment game, states/fed make the rules to be followed period.
good on you for finding the over payments
now bcbs and medicare will be doing an over payment request.
and will take back the over payed funds
Never will happen so keep dreaming your pipe dream
In many places even established doctors have to work for hospitals.
Many hospitals will not grant hospital admitting privileges to outside doctors.
Ok.. looks what Trump is doing.. never say never.
We cant catch everything.. but when we find out we take the money back
Agree... however, Obamacare has become the standard for all hospital care, even if you have paid for good private insurance. You are correct; without an advocate, you are toast.
bfl
there is so much fraud in the commerical, medicare, and medicaid spaces. its hard to catch, but HHS gives health plans 5 yrs to go back and look for stuff.
on year the company i worked for in 2018 or 2019 found over 5 million dollars just in over payments.
All the big “health” corporations care about is the shareholders.
We use Christian Healthcare Ministries, a brother in the Christian health ministry business. Thanks for the love and concern. People, certainly Christians, should explore this avenue. It has worked well in the past and up to now, very well for my tumor case.
